My Mute Bride

Chapter 322 The Engagement

Jolly parted her lips in an attempt to explain herself, but she was unable to gather her thoughts and put it into words. Eventually, she waved her hand and uttered, “Forget it. We’ll talk about it later. Where are Noah and Amber?”

Upon hearing that, Rachel sported a conflicted expression and exchanged glances with Justin. There was an infirmary on the ship.

Rachel’s neck was severely wounded. If her wounds were any deeper, they would have to be stitched up.

“Alright, don’t let your wounds come into contact with water. Go to a hospital to have your wounds checked after you leave the ship. It’d be troublesome if your wounds are infected.”

“Thanks, doctor.”

“Don’t mention it. But what happened? Why are you seriously injured?”

Just when Rachel was about to reply to him, Justin interrupted her by saying, “She tripped over and hit something sharp. It was an accident.”

Rachel took a glance at the man with a frown. When she was ready to say something, she saw the man sporting a solemn expression. Therefore, she decided to bite her tongue.

Meanwhile, Jolly and Ryan were waiting for them in the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Rachel asked, “Why didn’t you let me tell the truth just now? Two people are dead. I have to call the police now.”

Justin uttered, “If the murders that take place here can be solved by calling the police, this vessel will be no different from other ships.”

“Two lives are gone for good. No one will care whether Amber is missing. However, Noah is the eldest son of the Hindenburg Conglomerate’s boss. Do you think the Hindenburgs won’t look into it?”

“I don’t think the Hindenburgs are aware of Noah’s whereabouts tonight.”

Rachel became startled for a moment before turning to look at Ryan.

With an emotionless expression, Ryan stared at her intently. There wasn’t a hint of fluster behind his cold-looking eyes. “Even if they’re aware of it, they can only call the police. What can the police find out? There are no surveillance cameras on this cruise ship at all.”
